Solution

The correct option is A mRNA
DNA is located in nucleus and protein synthesis occurs in the cytoplasm. Messenger RNAs (mRNAs) specify the amino acid sequence of one or more polypeptides, thus carry genetic information from DNA to ribosomes. Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) read the genetic information present in the form of triplets in the mRNA and transfer the appropriate amino acid from amino acid pool of cytoplasm to a growing polypeptide chain during protein synthesis. Ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) are structural constituents of ribosomes that provide the site for proteins synthesis which makes them the most abundant form of RNA. snRNA are part of splicing of hnRNA.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
